Rank Tulane you cowards.

[Tim]

Happy to see Illinois ranked after 11 years. Let's keep it going.

Top 25 games

------------------------------

 

Minnesota at (24) Illinois (12 pm, BTN)

 

It may only last a week, especially if DeVito can't go... but it's beautiful

[SouthSideRyan]

They have a bye after Minnesota and then 2 more byes @ Nebraska and hosting Michigan State(bookmark this here for a bump in a few weeks), so a win Saturday eventually puts them in the top 10?

[champaignchris]

Rank Tulane you cowards.

 

 

They’ll be heavily favored in their next 3. Have a great chance of being 8-1 with a win over ranked Kansas St. They’ll be ranked then.

Wave always has trouble with Memphis. That said, Willie Fritz has done an amazing job here.

I have been high on Illinois this season, but I would pump the brakes a bit here. Illinois is good but wouldn't assume a victory over either Nebraska or MSU.

That's rather shocking. I'm happy to see the team winning games, and the defense is really good, but it still doesn't feel like there's any way they are one of the best 25 teams. But let's win a few more games and go to a semi-respectable bowl game for a change!

It appears Vegas agrees, as the #24 Illini are 4 point home dogs to unranked Minnesota next week (and I agree with this assessment, I think Minnesota is the one legit team in the BTW this season).

[Ding Dong Johnson]

$20 says Iowa finds a way to lose.

[CubinNY]

Upset week in College football.

 

#3, #5,#7, #8, #9 could all lose this weekend

I'll be curious to see if that changes if DeVito is cleared to play. The backup is hot garbage.

I believe it'll change, without a doubt, had DeVito not been hurt, the Illini would have beaten Iowa by 10+ points.

I have no idea whether DeVito will play or not. But I suspect there will be no word one way or the other right up to game time.

 

Huge game for the Big Ten West. The winner will be the favorite for the division going forward. Illinois in particular will be favored in every remaining game except Michigan.

 

I have to keep things in perspective and remember expectations going into the season. Anything beyond a sixth win and a bowl birth is gravy. More than anything, what Illinois really needs is to stack several bowl seasons together, 4 in 5, 5 in 6 and go back to being a consistently relevant football program for the first time in 30 years.

Feel strangely confident about Penn State. I surely wouldn't if it was at Happy Valley, but Michigan has not lost a home game to a team that isn't Ohio State or Michigan State with Harbaugh as coach, outside of the 2020 season that I'm going to completely ignore because I can. They've beaten several good teams too.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Upset week in College football.

 

#3, #5,#7, #8, #9 could all lose this weekend

I will go out on a limb and say 2 of the top 10 will lose for sure.

This is likely a must win game for Harsin. If he loses he’s done.

[champaignchris]

DeVito will be starting today for Illinois.

[Tim]

Illini up by 6...but completely dominating the game.

[Tim]

More like Ski-U-Nahhhh!

 

ILL!

[minnesotacubsfan]

Painful

[gflore34]

Illini completely dominated, do not understand why Minnesota was a 4+ favorite on the road, but a convincing win, nonetheless.

[Derwood]

Oh look, Penn State is not as good as their ranking (again)
